How Does the Labor Shortage Impact Real Estate?

August 16, 2021 by Marcus & Millichap Research Services

Will the labor shortage impact Commercial Real Estate?

Job Openings Overtake People Looking for Work

  • Job openings in June reached record 10M – Previous peak was 7.6M in 2018 under tight labor market
  • Roughly 1.4M more jobs available than people looking for work, despite unemployment rate still at 5.4%

Labor Shortage Drag on Economic & Real Estate Recovery

  • Some tenant types, like Retail, Hotels and Sr. Housing, unable to hire enough staff to operate at full capacity
  • Labor shortages stifle economic growth – Slows demand for Retail, Industrial warehouses, Offices and Apartments
  • Construction worker shortage could limit new supply; would benefit performance of existing real estate

Labor Imbalance Could Present New Headwinds

  • Competition for talent contributing to rising wages; May further fuel inflation
  • Rising inflation could force the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy sooner than expected

*Job openings through June; Unemployed through July
